What Is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is a condition that causes damage to your eye's optic nerve and gets worse over time. It's often linked to a buildup of pressure inside your eye. Glaucoma tends to be inherited and may not show up until later in life.

Glaucoma Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases which result in damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. A major risk factor is increased pressure in the eye. The disorders can be roughly divided into two main categories:  open-angle  and  closed-angle  (or  angle closure ) glaucoma.n pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (also, PEX, exfoliation glaucoma) the pressure is due to the accumulation of microscopic granular protein fibers, which can block normal drainage of the aqueous humor.

Glaucoma Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases causing optic nerve damage. The optic nerve carries images from the retina, which is the specialized light sensing tissue, to the brain so we can see. In glaucoma, eye pressure plays a role in damaging the delicate nerve fibers of the optic nerve.his pigment can clog the drain and can lead to an increase in eye pressure. This form of glaucoma responds well to laser treatment. Other types of glaucoma may be caused by injuries to the eye, tumors, and other eye diseases. A rare type of glaucoma can even be present in children at birth.

What causes glaucoma? The primary factors that can lead to glaucoma include: 1  Insufficient Drainage - At the angle where the iris and cornea meet, there is a soft, mesh-like tissue through which fluid drains from the anterior chamber of the eye.

Glaucoma - Cause Some people get glaucoma after an eye injury or after eye surgery. A cataract and some medicines (corticosteroids) that are used to treat other diseases may also cause glaucoma. Glaucoma caused in these ways is called secondary glaucoma.

Glaucoma  In-Depth Report Glaucoma is a term used to describe several types of eye conditions that affect the optic nerve. In most cases, damage to the optic nerve is caused by increased pressure in the eye, also known as intraocular pressure (IOP). Glaucoma can cause partial vision loss, with blindness as a possible eventual outcome.

What Causes Glaucoma? But when something affects the ability of internal eye structures to regulate intraocular pressure (IOP), eye pressure can rise to dangerously high levels — causing glaucoma. Unlike a ball or balloon, the eye can't relieve pressure by springing a leak and deflating when pressure is too high.

6 Sure-Fire Tips to Prevent Glaucoma Naturally About 10 percent of those with glaucoma have what’s called angle-closure (acute) glaucoma, and in these cases a sudden rise in eye pressure can cause: 1  Severe eye pain. 2  Blurred vision. 3  Sudden visual disturbances. 4  Halos around lights. 5  Reddening of the eye.

Glaucoma Learn More. Glaucoma refers to a group of diseases -- open-angle glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma, low-tension or normal-tension glaucoma, congenital glaucoma, and secondary glaucoma -- where cells and fibers of the optic nerve are damaged, affecting the transmission of signals from the eye to the brain. It is usually progressive.

Glaucoma Some people have narrow drainage angles, putting them at increased risk of angle-closure glaucoma. Angle-closure glaucoma may occur suddenly (acute angle-closure glaucoma) or gradually (chronic angle-closure glaucoma). Acute angle glaucoma is a medical emergency. It can be triggered by sudden dilation of your pupils.

Diabetic retinopathy: Causes, symptoms, and treatments Glaucoma is a slow-progressing disease that causes damage to the eye's optic nerve and can result in blindness. Open angle glaucoma, the most common form of the disease, affects about 3 million Americans. It is the leading cause of blindness in the United States.

Glaucoma in Dogs & Cats Secondary Glaucoma in Dogs & Cats. Secondary Glaucoma occurs when other eye diseases cause decreased fluid drainage. Common causes of secondary glaucoma are inflammation inside the eye (uveitis), advanced cataracts, cancer in the eye, lens subluxation or luxation, and chronic retinal detachment. Glaucoma in cats is usually secondary to chronic uveitis.

Glaucoma The exact causes of optic nerve damage from glaucoma is not fully understood, but involves mechanical compression and/or decreased blood flow of the optic nerve. Although high eye pressure sometimes leads to glaucoma, many people can also develop glaucoma with normal eye pressure.

What Is Glaucoma? In this article. Glaucoma is a condition that causes damage to your eye 's optic nerve and gets worse over time. It's often associated with a buildup of pressure inside the eye.f damage to the optic nerve from high eye pressure continues, glaucoma will cause permanent loss of vision. Without treatment, glaucoma can cause total permanent blindness within a few years.

What are the Symptoms of Glaucoma? Symptoms of Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma. In angle-closure glaucoma (also called narrow angle glaucoma), the angle is closed in many or most areas, causing increased eye pressure, which leads to optic nerve damage, and possible vision loss. This rise in eye pressure may occur suddenly (an acute attack of angle closure) or gradually.

Types of Glaucoma There are several types of glaucoma. The two main types are open-angle and angle-closure. These are marked by an increase of intraocular pressure (IOP), or pressure inside the eye. Open-angle glaucoma, the most common form of glaucoma, accounting for at least 90% of all glaucoma cases: Is caused by the slow clogging of the drainage canals, resulting in increased eye pressure.
